Andy and I packed up our tent, sleeping bags, sweet shades, and beer and headed to the middle of Washington, to the dry, desolate, insanely expansive Columbia River Basin. It was here that we met up with 25,000 other amped concert go-ers. I'm talking about the Sasquatch Festival at the Gorge Ampitheater in the good old town of George, Washington (yep. like the president).
I was pretty pumped to show off one of our states most beautiful venues to Andy--who's been bouncing off the walls for months totally stoked about this HUGE event (literally 15 of his most favorite bands all played at this festival). It was everything we thought it would be. We spent three days listening to more bands than we could count completely. Rocking. Out. I can successfully say that I have learned about lots of cool bands I didn't know about, about the art of hippy dancing, and the craziness that arises when you mix TONS of people, a beautiful place, and LOUD MUSIC. Our favorites included Bon Iver, Fleet Floxes, Santigold, Gogul Bordello (crazy gipsy punk), Mos Def, Animal Collective, M Ward, and the Avett Brothers.
As usual, a great time with great friends, from Pullman and Bellingham. We came home late last night groggy and tanned. Count us in again, for Sasquatch 2010!!!

YOU GUYS ROCK! Yes, I'm jealous. And yes, you guys are probably disgustingly tan. I bet you loved going there with your new car. Fun!!! Thanks for posting the pics!
Awww, I have so many memories of you and Andy and that tent! :) And that bathing suit! I think you bought that during your California summer. ;)
Wow, you guys look like you had so much fun. What a cool thing to be able to do. I have to be honest, I'm a little jealous, but mostly really excited to see what this next year holds for you guys!
Have fun!
Oh, and did you happen to see Fleetwood Mac, Bryan Adams or Clay Aiken? Hardy, har, har! :) (Wait, that's 100% sure to be funny only to me...)
You're some pretty awesome humans, I must say. Glad you could cut loose for a few days of revelrous adventure. Someday, someday, someday. Love you guys.
